Episode 028 - It's Not About the Hat | Meg Louvin

How many times in life have you been willing to commit to doing something that you didn’t know the outcome? I’m talking about committing to a project that you didn’t know if you could handle.  A deadline that would stretch you so thin you risked failure.  

Generally, we don’t commit to things we are not confident we can complete.  But that’s just our comfort zone.  Where’s the growth in that?  If we only set out to do things we know we are good at and we can “finish” we miss all the things we could be successful at.

29029 is a safe place to fail.  

It’s not that we don’t love red hats and celebrating climbing the vertical feet of Mount Everest.  It’s that we recognize a finish line doesn’t define anyone.  In fact, some of the most powerful lessons we’ve learned over the years aren’t from participants donning red bibs and hats.  They are the lessons we’re taught by the people who are willing to push forward despite no hope for an Everest summit.

Meg Louvin has never worn red in her two times on the mountain.  She doesn’t know what it feels like to crest the mountain on her final lap.  What Meg does know just might be more powerful....that 29029 is not just about Everest, it's about all the summits in between.  

We don’t go to battle against anyone else on the mountain except ourselves. If you are willing to take a giant step outside of your comfort zone you can redefine every other challenge in your life.

Just ask Meg…….
